The Crusader Empire

For those of you who read my last post I said that if all goes well from here on out in the Iraq war and were out by next spring then it won’t be an issue in the 2008 election. Well I most definitely stand by that statement and I feel I have found some similarities between good ‘ol George W. with the Iraq War and Abraham Lincoln with the Civil War.

As we all know that Lincoln was shot five days after the Civil War ended and shortly before that Lincoln was elected to his second term, which he did not get to serve. Well lets just say that Lincoln had his doubts that he would even be reelected. Yes thats right Abe Lincoln, now probably on everyones top 5 president list almost was not reelected to his second term. He wrote letters to generals saying that they needed to wrap this war up because of how unhappy the American people were. Yes, yes I know, The CIVIL WAR and people in the North were leaning against the war and electing George B. McClellan, the former head Union General that decided the war needed to end, or in reality a cut and run strategy (another comparison?). Well we all know what happened next. Sherman marched to Savannah bringing destruction to the South while Sheridon destroyed the farm lands in the Shenendahoah Valley and the North won some major, major victories (and lost tons and tons of men in the process, you can thank Ulysses S. Grant for that) and the honorable General Lee surrendered at the Appomattox Court house in Appomattax, VA and then five days later Lincoln was shot by a crazed actor named John Wilkes Booth.

The comparison that I’m trying to get you to see is that people did not want Lincoln to be their president again. They wanted a totally different war strategy and they were starting to actually dislike Abe Lincoln. The reason why he was reelected was because of the huge turnaround in the war and when everyone saw that the North was starting to make all the right moves and when the people saw potential victory they rallied behind their troops and their president! We need the same thing today! We need to make ALL the right moves in Iraq and we need to win this war and get out and I can guarantee that not only will George W. Bush have a much better legacy, we won’t have to deal with a democrat in the presidential office!

I wonder what Hillary will do after losing the election, I say she leaves Bill.
